I have made the same journey as many, with plastic Kodak brownie cameras, Instamatics, then on to college using a  Twin-reflex Yashica, many 35 mm's and into the 21st century with my wonderful Nikon Digital SLR cameras, and other technologies in modern equipment!

However, equipment and experience is nothing without the love of being with people--and I'm a people-person, my clients feel it and are relaxed and confident in front of my camera. This type of personality is vital to pictorially represent my subjects at their very best--from an actor’s, model’s or entertainer’s head shot to prom, graduation, Bat and Bar Mitzvah photos to discreet body landscapes, and all-important engagement and wedding pictorials--you can always be assured of the most optimum results.

My photos have been exhibited in Manhattan galleries and Hudson Valley photo shows. You can see my work in such books as Garage Sale America and Bruce Littlefield's Christmas Book both published by Harper Collins, and also on Bruce Littlefield's web site and VisitVortex.com.  Publications such as The Ulster County Press, Hudson Valley Magazine, The Blue Stone Press, The Daily Freeman, The Poughkeepsie Journal, Roll Magazine, USA Today and several other publications commission me for photographs on a regular basis. I also work with several businesses for special events and live celebrity shows.

Please enjoy a picture journey through my Galleries!
